I’m writing to tell you I’m alive. And I’m doing well. It’s just been a crazy time in my life these last couple of months. I usually don’t do an “update” kind of post, but I felt the need to share what’s been going on recently – and why I’ve been a bit MIA.
Well, MIA from the blog maybe, but I’m never far from Twitter.
Since August, I feel like I’ve been traveling at the speed of light with nearly no end in sight. Upon the move, my kids were whisked into new schools and in a blink of an eye, Sandy hit. And before I could even blink my eyes again, Thanksgiving came and went. And now we are smack in the middle of one of my most favorite holidays.
Every year around this time, I usually begin to slow the pace a bit.
I try to stop and smell the roses.
I revel in this time with my family.
For me, it’s about following favorite holiday traditions from my own childhood and making tons of new memories with my own kids, like decorating our beloved Christmas tree.
And as we enter the final month of 2012, I begin to reflect on my blog over the course of the last twelve months. I think about where it’s been and I want it to go in the New Year. It’s almost like a rebirth, the chance to travel on a new journey with a renewed vision.
The best way I can describe it is like wearing your favorite jeans that still look and feel great, but just pairing them with a brand new pair of heels; same great fit with some new added style and dimension – and that’s the plan for Theta Mom® in 2013. So, until I find my footing with those new pair of heels, I am going to remain in my favorite jeans that I’ve come to adore for the last three years – and of course, enjoy every minute I can with these two faces.
Happy to hear you’re doing well, and I totally get it about how busy it’s been lately. Kind of crazy, huh? I managed to find time today to sit down and blog and it felt GREAT.

Thank Loukia! I actually miss the days when all we did was blog, you know? I feel like back then, my kids were babies and I was tied to the home much more than I am now. I had TIME to actually read and comment on blogs…oh where oh where does the time go mama??
Hope you’re enjoying the holiday season – I always love seeing your photos, your tree is so gorgeous every year!!!
xoxo
Isn’t that the truth?! Now that I have a baby again, I’m on the computer more than ever. The direct correlation of being tied at home with an infant & blogging more is so true! As my kids get older, the less I’m online. I guess that’s just the way it goes!
Nice to see you! I can’t wait to see what’s new in 2013!
You too Wendy! I miss my NYC girls!! Hope to get into the city soon, would love to catch up!
xoxo
I’m glad that things are going well for you & your family. Hopefully things will slow down for all of us now that the holidays are almost here.
I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving and have an amazing holiday!
Yes, we all need a break from time to time, right? Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Jackie!
I hope you enjoy every second with your family this holiday
I can’t wait to see your new heels; I do love a new pair of shoes. They just do something fun to even the most comfortable, familiar outfit

Thanks Angela, I can’t wait to wear them! 😉 Hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving!

Our lives have been a complete whirlwind, since May, but it got super crazy in August. I’ve been telling people that it’s sad when the holidays are your slow season. I’m so glad things are slowing down for us, frankly I’m worn out.
It’s always good to see a Theta Mom post pop up in my email! Glad that y’all are enjoying the start of the Christmas season. I love your tree!!!
Thanks mama!! You’ve been with me for this whole journey, you’re one of my “original” peeps – can’t thank you enough for always being here and wanting to read.
xoxo
Always happy to see you write, Heather. Have a wonderful December and I look forward to 2013 with you and all the Theta Moms!
That means so much, thank you Alison!!
